4. My pet hamster escaped and chewed through the cable to my radio/alarm. Resulting in:

 

a. the death of a much loved pet; and

b. the loss of any time telling facility in my house.

5. the M25 was closed because a sheep wandered on to the motorway and was hit by a car. The police say the reason for this is all a bit woolly.

Can I cheat and add 18? :rofl2: Well, I will anyway :howdy:

 

When I got up this morning I took two Ex-Lax in addition to my Prozac. I can't get off the John, but I feel good about it.

 

If it is all the same to you I won't be coming in to work. The voices told me to clean all the guns today.

 

I set half the clocks in my house ahead an hour and the other half back an hour Saturday and spent 18 hours in some kind of space-time continuum loop, reliving Sunday (right up until the explosion). I was able to exit the loop only by reversing the polarity of the power source, exactly e*log(pi), of the clocks in the house while simultaneously rapping my dog on the snout with a rolled up Times. Accordingly, I will be in late, or early.

 

My stigmata's acting up.

 

I can't come in to work today because I'll be stalking my previous boss, who fired me for not showing up for work. OK?

 

I have a rare case of 48-hour projectile leprosy, but I know we have that deadline to meet...

 

I am stuck in the blood pressure machine down at the Food Giant.

 

Yes, I seem to have contracted some attention-deficit disorder and, hey, how about them Yankees, huh? So, I won't be able to, yes, could I help you? No, no, I'll be sticking with Sprint, but thank you for calling.

 

Constipation has made me a walking time bomb.

 

I just found out that I was switched at birth. Legally, I shouldn't come to work knowing my employee records may now contain false information.

 

The psychiatrist said it was an excellent session. He even gave me this jaw restraint so I won't bite things when I am startled.

 

The dog ate my car keys. We're going to hitchhike to the vet.

 

I prefer to remain an enigma.

 

My mother-in-law has come back as one of the Un-dead and we must track her to her coffin to drive a stake through her heart and give her eternal peace. One day should do it.

 

I can't come to work today because the EPA has determined that my house is completely surrounded by wetlands and I have to arrange for helicopter transportation.

 

I am converting my calendar from Julian to Gregorian.

 

I am extremely sensitive to a rise in the interest rates.

 

I refuse to travel to my job in the District until there is a commuter tax. I insist on paying my fair share.

Excuses for not handing in homework

 

 

1. We had a local power cut and whilst I was doing my homework, by candle light, hot wax dripped all over my books.

:sadwalk: Sorry, just realised I skewed the meaning of No. 5 (due to not reading the title properly.... :hehehe: )

 

Instead it should read :

 

5. The pile of bricks resulting after my obsessive urge to collect them subsided (which keeps getting knocked over now by that Mad Step-brother).
